Yahoo Finance Rakovina Therapeutics to Present at the 6th biennial Canadian Cancer Research Conference
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. (TSXV: RKV) ("the Company"), a biopharmaceutical company committed to advancing new cancer therapies based on novel DNA-damage response technologies, today announced that the Company has been invited to present a poster presentation at the sixth biennial Canadian Cancer Research Conference (CCRC), which is being held virtually November 8-11, 2021.
The CCRC brings together the cancer research community for an agenda spanning the oncology research spectrum and presents an opportunity for researchers, trainees, clinicians, decision-makers, and patients to hear the latest developments in Canadian cancer research and network across multiple research disciplines.
During the meeting, Rakovina Therapeutics researchers will present an update on lead optimization activities with the Company’s novel kt-3000 series. The kt-3000 series drug candidates combine potent inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in a single molecule. PARP-inhibitors have recently become important in the treatment of certain cancers including BRCA-mutant breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. Rakovina Therapeutics is researching the kt-3000 series potential to overcome cancer cells’ development of resistance to PARP-inhibitor therapy.
